UpShot Named One of the Top CRM Implementations of 2000 by Aberdeen Group

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 13 /PRNewswire/ -- UpShot Corporation(R), the
leading Web-based Sales Force Automation (SFA) company, announced today that
the Aberdeen Group honored UpShot as one of the most significant CRM
implementations of 2000. In its research report, Aberdeen profiled
Jamcracker's implementation of UpShot as a best of breed SFA solution.
"One of the major results generated from UpShot was a significant increase
in pipeline visibility," the Aberdeen Group profile noted. "UpShot allows
Jamcracker to capture information in a centralized repository that allows for
sophisticated drill-down and report capabilities. Prior to the UpShot
implementation, Jamcracker had limited insight into its sales pipeline, making
it difficult for management to forecast revenue growth and more often than
not, sales forecasts were inaccurate."
"The title of the Aberdeen Group Report -- 'What Works' -- says it all,"
said Keith Raffel, founder and chairman of UpShot. "We continue to be
recognized by analysts, the industry and most importantly by fast-growing
companies with 100 to 1,000 employees as the SFA solution that works."
UpShot Corporation offers a rapidly deployable best-of-breed SFA solution
that improves sales productivity, enhances visibility into the sales pipeline
and gives salespeople access to information from anywhere, anytime. In
addition to being the first company to offer a Web-based sales force
automation system, UpShot was also the first to support wireless devices and
offer "road warriors" using Web-enabled cell phones or PDAs "real-time"
two-way access to the latest information about customers and potential deals.
The company was also the first to offer an Express View interface to equip
users with speedier access when connecting over slower modems encountered on
the road.
